Yes, you can get cellulitis from a pedicure. I know this firsthand because I am still recovering from the illness, as well as the side effects of the medicine, 2 weeks later. My pedicure person used a razor on my foot to help remove calluses -- which I do not have many of, truthfully -- and cut off an approximately dime-size piece of skin. I generally ask her not to use the pumice stone instead, but I was zoned out from the terrific massage chairs this place offers. I promptly cleaned and bandaged the wound and used antibiotic ointment. I kept the wound clean and changed the dressing regularly. Five days later, my foot really started to hurt and I noticed that the wound had become swollen, red, and shiny. My physician took a quick look at it, diagnosed cellulitis, and prescribed warm water soaks, bandages and 10 days of amoxicillin. The drug so far has given me 12 days' of gastric problems, even though I'm taking probiotics to counteract these and other issues. My nail tech caused this by drawing blood with a razor, which allowed the bacteria a way into my skin. Likewise, you can get cellulitis from any other procedure that causes you to bleed, such as trimming your cuticles too close or pulling out ingrown toenails, which can allow a bacterial infection. You can also get bacterial infections from soaking in foot tubs that have not been cleaned well, as long as you have an opening on your skin.
